Made in Clip Studio Paint with a Huion tablet and a 大山水 (dà shān shuǐ) watercolor brush.
Back in 2024 (I think), I attended a local art class in which we painted a fan in this style. I'm generally not much of an artist, but I had so much fun and loved what I made. Recreating it digitally is a very different feeling, and took a lot of courage to even try. I'm proud of this attempt at it, and I hope to continue practicing and improving!
Shān shuǐ (lit. mountain-water) is a style of landscape painting derived from Chinese painting traditions. I'm not sure if this basic branch with flowers is entirely in that tradition, but the brush worked great for it.
My mother-in-law also does watercolor paintings, though with physical media. Maybe if I keep practicing, we'll have more to talk about next time we meet.
